How AI is Changing the Way We Work: An Example for Bing Chat AI, Excel and Data Analysis

As AI, in all of its forms, becomes more prevalent, we will all find practical examples to use these powerful tools in our professional and personal lives.

But is it all just hyperbole?

A modern day "fluff" PR stunt to promote a brand and make someone rich before it all crashes and burns?

Maybe, it's too soon to tell.

But let's look at an example with AI that's available today with Microsoft Bing Chat.

As a reminder, Bing Chat uses ChatGPT to power its AI feature.

In this case, a beginning Excel user is tasked with performing data analysis on sales data for the previous year, by quarter and by region.

Let's see what Bing Chat can do.

I asked Bing Chat to review the sales data table and provide the Microsoft Excel formulas for meaningful results.

fig. 1  Bing Chat Request for Sales Analysis

Bing Chat returned the following:

fig. 2   Bing Sales Analysis Results

Not too bad.

The formulas worked to add additional content for Totals, Averages, Minimums, Maximums and Quarter over Quarter Percentages.

Following the formula examples provided by Bing Chat, I added the formulas and the Excel table now shows these results.

Can more be done?

AI is designed to allow users to engage in conversations.  

I asked Bing Chat for more examples.

fig. 4   Bing 

The results provided more analysis that could be added to the data table, including Percentage of Total Sales, Year-to-date Sales, Quarter-over-quarter change, and Year-over-year change.

In this simple example, a user could get a good start on their work assignment.

A more experienced Excel user would knows these capabilities and how to use them in Excel.

But this is a good example of what is possible.

And playing further with this example would bring more depth to the analysis.

AI is improving and it will play a greater role in our professional and personal lives.

With so many systems and services moving to the internet, it can be easy to have too many tabs open in Google Chrome. 

This can make it difficult to stay organized and productive.

We've already shared the Cool Tip to name Chrome Windows but there's even more ways to keep Chrome Tabs organized.

Here's how to Group, Add, Remove and Search Tabs in Google Chrome:

Group Tabs.

• Right-click a tab and select Add tab to new group.

One Simple Cool Tip to Boost Your Productivity with Chrome Windows

Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world, and for good reason. 

It's fast, secure, and packed with features. 

One of those features, a Cool Tip, is the ability to name your Chrome windows. 

Why do this?

You can organize your chrome windows and tabs logically.

And give each window its own unique name.

Each Chrome window can contain many tabs and you can move tabs from window to window to keep them organized.

This can be a great way to keep track of different windows, especially if you have a lot of them open at the same time.

To name a Chrome window, follow these steps:

• Right-click on the title bar of the window you want to name.
• Select Name Window from the menu.
• Enter a name for the window in the text box that appears.
• Click OK.

Name Chrome Windows

The name of the windows will now appear in the taskbar and in the Alt+Tab menu.

View Chrome Window Names

Here are a few tips for naming your Chrome windows:

• Be descriptive. The name of the window should give you a good idea of what's inside it.
• Use short names. Long names can be difficult to read, especially when you're switching between windows quickly.
• Use consistent naming conventions. This will make it easier to find the windows you're looking for.

Do you want to create a QR code for a website you own or manage?

Are you publicizing a community or local event and want users to be able to scan a QR code to see your information?

Here's a Cool Tip: create QR codes from your Google Chrome browser.

A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read by smartphones and other mobile devices.

They are a great way to share information quickly and easily such as websites, contact information, social media profiles, and more. 

Here's how to do it:

• Open Chrome Chrome.
• Go to the web page you want to create a QR for.  
• For example, http://www.OneCoolTip.com
• Find the address bar:
• Windows computers: To the right of the address bar, click Share icon

• Select Create QR Code.

• Your new QR appears.

• Click Download to download the QR code to your PC or Mac.
• Share your QR code far and wide.
• Add the QR code to printed materials!
• Others can scan the QR code to go to your website.
• Use the Google App camera to scan the QR code.
• Users can visit the website that the QR code promotes.

• Mac computers: To the right of the address bar, click Share icon and then QR code .

The Google Chrome Dino is prominently located in the center of the QR code so you may want to find another option for your brand.

But for a quick and easy solution, this is a good way to create a QR code.

FBI Warns Against Using Public USB Charging Stations

Did you use free USB charging ports when you are out in public?

Your phone may be at risk.

Here's why.

The concern in that cables and USB ports can be modified to introduce malware into phones that connect to the charging port.

The FBI's Denver office issued this specific warning to the public to avoid using free charging stations that are commonly found in public spaces such as airports, hotels or shopping centers.

Twitter

Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or shopping centers. Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices. Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead.

So what can you do to prevent this?

• Keep your phone charged before you leave your home.
• Bring your own USB charging cables and plug your phone directly into standard electrical outlets to charge it.  
• You can also use your own mobile battery charger to recharge your phone between charging using secure electrical outlets.

Criminals are always looking for ways to commit fraud.

Stay informed and aware.

How to Set Siri's Pause Length

Looking to get more out of your Siri experience? 

You're not alone! Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, has become a game-changing feature for many of us, allowing us to do everything from sending texts to setting appointments with ease. 

However, for individuals with disabilities or those who may have difficulty speaking clearly, 

Siri's default settings may not be enough. 

Here's a Cool Tip: Change Siri's Pause Time.

The Siri Accessibility setting for Siri pause length allows you to adjust the time required between the user's spoken words before Siri stops listening. 

This can be incredibly helpful for those who need more time to gather their thoughts, speak clearly, or those who may have difficulty speaking due to a disability.

To access this setting, navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Siri, and then select Longer or Longest.

You'll need to try each setting to see what works best for you.

The Siri Accessibility setting for Siri pause length is a powerful tool that can improve the experience for many users.  

So, go ahead and give it a try – you might be surprised at how much it can improve your Siri experience.

Enjoy!

How to Attach Documents to Microsoft Outlook Messages Inside the Message

Do you struggle with attaching documents to your Outlook messages? 

Do you want to include the message INSIDE the message body rather than at the top?

You may have noticed that sometimes attachments in your Outlook email are at the top of the message while other times the documents are attached inside the message body itself.

Here's how to do it either way.

To attach a file from your computer in Outlook, follow these steps:

• Reply, Forward or create a new email message.
• Select Insert, Attach File then Browse This PC.
• Choose the file you want to attach and select Open.
• To attach more than one file, hold CTRL (or Command in Mac) while selecting multiple files.
• Select the file to attach to your message.
• The file will be attached at the top of your message (under the subject line).
• This is because your message format is most likely set as HTML

• If you want to insert a document as an file icon inside the message body, select the Format Text  tab in the ribbon, then Format, Message Format, select Rich Text.

• The file will be included inside your message.

• This can be useful when you want to each file or ensure the recipient knows what is different about each file you've attached.
• The Message format determines where the attachment is located:
• HTML and Plain Text formats will put the attachment at the top in the header.
• Rich Text format will put the attachment INSIDE the message body.

That's it!
